great. thanks for the information

ok

in -current /usr/sbin/hcsecd and /usr/sbin/sdpd should be started by 
separate scripts /etc/rc.d/hcsecd and /etc/rc.d/sdpd. all you need to do 
is to put

hcsecd_enable="YES"
sdpd_enable="YES"

into your /etc/rc.conf and you should be done. please do not forget to 
kldload ng_btsocket(4) module (from loader.conf) or else these will not 
start.

there is no reason to start/stop hcsecd(8) and sdpd(8) when device is 
attached/detached. if you plan on using bluetooth you just may have run 
these all the time.

both daemons listen on wildcard addresses, so they should not be 
affected attach/detach events.

there is a mobile_backup.sh script that you might find useful.

thanks,
